Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0652

Leo stopped in his tracks but didn't turn around. I knew he was waiting for me to speak.

"Leo, you knew, didn't you..." The thought of those photos made my voice tremble involuntarily.

Nelson wasn't the only one who knew about those photos. At the very least, the security tearn on the third floor of The Secret knew, and so did Claudia.

Thinking about the call I'd just received from Claudia-was the "secret" she mentioned referring to those photos?

Lec didn't look back, but I heard him take a deep breath. "If you behave yourself, no one else will find out."

His voice was so emotionless that I couldn't discem whether his words were a warning or something else.

Nicholas was furious, clearly interpreting Leo's words as a blatant provocation, showing no respect for him. "Leo! Don't you dare..."

"Nicholas," I interrupted softly before he could finish. "Let him go."
